Update on my family situation, and scheduled posts
🕑 Added 2025-08-09 16:16:42 +0000 UTCHello Patrons!
I have some updates on how this month may shape up, and on how my family situation is at the moment. My father passed away this morning after 12 days in comfort care. I had not worked any days since July 29. While it was a difficult two weeks for me, I am now relieved that my dad is in peace, and that I have been able to spend so much time with him. I will still continue to grieve with my family, but I aim to be working again on Monday August 11.
Here is a summary of upcoming projects and their progress:
Football Spit Roast:
Because so many days were missed, and because I didn't have the nsfw energy to put my best into my art and animation, I am anticipating that the completed animation for Football Spit Roast will sadly be delayed another month. Script needs writing and I should now have more focus to be able to get a script done soon (and it may just be as hot as Sloppy Seconds), but voice records, music, etc will need more time. Another special preview will be published some time this month.
Tropical Storm Dax:
Tropical Storm Dax (formerly titled Project Palawan) was in progress in the last week of July, with more characters being designed, but work had stopped during my mourning. For Diamond Hard patrons, the results of a minor poll should be announced soon. I also hope to reveal at least two more coloured character designs soon. I have a suggestion box coming up which had been planned to go up on the 1st, but will instead go up on the 16th. More information will be organised to better explain the concept of Tropical Storm Dax. Sorry for the delay on this project. I am really excited to get this animated!
Animation WIP:
Though I have planned for the next animation project to be related to Tropical Storm Dax, the delays may push the launch later. A new animation project will fill in the gap until a poll can be ready to vote for who Dax has sex with first (should be exciting!) Be on the lookout for a WIP this month on what that project may be.
Artwork of the month:
An art project had been started in the last week of July but was put on hold, as it required more time to complete it to how I wanted. I'll have to see if I can get that idea done, but do expect a more finished artwork some time this month.
In closing:
I thank you all for your kind wishes and support. It was a certainly difficult time and your love has made it easier for me to give me time for my family. But I am still committed to making more art and animation, and in the best shape possible. Please continue to wish me luck, as I get the ball rolling again! Thanks so much everyone for your patience and understanding.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My own father passed away 5 years ago and I still think about him. You will always have him with you if you remember the good times. I hope you take some time to think about your dad and create a piece of art just for yourself to remember him by. Best wishes to you and your family.

Sorry about your loss. Please take your time to heal, it is an inevitable part of life and needs to be managed properly instead of rushing back to work.

Sorry for your loss, Maru. I know we all grieve at different rates but don't rush back into things until you're truly ready. When I lost my dad 3 years ago I went back to work thinking I'd be fine and ended up having a breakdown. So take all the time you need.

My condolences to you and your family. Take all the time you need and if you feel things need to get pushed back, do not hesitate to do so. Take all the time you and your family need. As others have said we’ll be here once you are ready and able to do so
Ted
My condolences, I've been through the same. Take care of yourself, take as much time as you need, and we will be here when you are ready.

My dear Maruten, I wish you all the best, love and optimism in these hard times. You might not always think about it, but please be reminded of how often you put a smile on our faces with your art when we had hard times. Now is our time to give back: take as much time as you need and never apologize for your feelings and needs in times like these…we are your supporters - in every way 😘

My condolences, I'd say you should take care of your family first. These are things you can't catch up on later. I know that many people can use work as a distraction, but that doesn't change anything! I'm sure all fans understand that! Only work when it helps you cope, take breaks, and why not surprise us just before Christmas! With a collection of parkets! Of course, only as you can!
Henry B.
My deepest condolences, friend. Take all the time you need. I will raise a toast to you and your family.
